This area shows pictures taken from the observations of tropical storm Andrea in nothwestern Florida's "Big Bend" area (near and around Cedar Key) during the day of June 6, 2013. This storm developed from a stalled trough of low pressure / cold front that extended southward into the southern Gulf of Mexico earlier that same week. As upper level winds improved somewhat, a broad area of low pressure and tropical storm formed in the central to eastern Gulf of Mexico. The storm continued towards the northeast, intensifying until just offshore of Tampa and Cedar Key, Florida during the day of June 6. Landfall was later that same day just north of Cedar Key, Florida with passage across Georgia and the southeastern states over the following days before extratropical transition. Heavy rains, some storm surge flooding (in NW Florida), strong winds, and some isolated tornadoes were spawned east of the center as it came ashore. The storm made landfall in Florida with 65 MPH winds and a central pressure of about 993 MB. The storm was intercepted by a drive up the east coast of Florida, then across to near the Tampa area south of Orlando, and off to the target area in and around Cedar Key, Florida. This was the first tropical cyclone intercept of 2013.
